arunkumar_e,

There is no way to hide the fields without defining 2 Maps. Define 2 maps one with age and another without age. Use the appropriate map depending on the data.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

arunkumar_e,

You can declare the MAP field

Or else move the proper attributes to the attribute byte of the field definition depending on your program logic. There is an attribute of DRK-ASKIP (pls check up the exact attribute) which effectively hides the field and skips over it, if not needed.

HTH...Regards,
Manas
